Not entirely true; Any package that has configuration files/directories
in user space will have those left even after an apt-get(1) purge. So,
to be sure, one has to delete those as well.
Without detailed info about all the packages John wishes to re-install,
it's impossible to say which, if any, may have user space configs.
